What are polynucleotides for the under-eye area?

Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality around the eyes. They work by supporting tissue repair, improving hydration and encouraging collagen production, helping to create a healthier and more refreshed-looking under-eye area.

​

What concerns can under-eye polynucleotides help improve?

Under-eye polynucleotides may help improve skin quality, crepey skin, fine lines, dehydration and loss of elasticity around the eyes. They can also improve the overall appearance of tired-looking eyes by supporting skin regeneration.

​

Can polynucleotides get rid of dark circles?

It depends on the cause of the dark circles. Polynucleotides may help if dark circles are related to thin skin, poor skin quality or visible blood vessels beneath the skin. However, they may be less effective for pigmentation-related dark circles or significant volume loss.

​

Are polynucleotides better than tear trough filler?

They are different treatments designed for different concerns. Tear trough filler addresses volume loss and hollowing, while polynucleotides focus on improving skin quality and tissue health. During your consultation, the most appropriate treatment will be recommended based on your anatomy and concerns

 

How many under-eye polynucleotide treatments will I need?

Most clients benefit from an initial course of three treatments, typically spaced a few weeks apart. The exact treatment plan will depend on your skin condition and desired results.

​

When will I see results from under-eye polynucleotides?

Results develop gradually as the skin undergoes regeneration. Many clients notice improvements after their second treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks and months.

​

Are under-eye polynucleotides filler?

No. Polynucleotides are not dermal fillers and do not add volume to the treatment area. Instead, they work by supporting skin repair and improving overall skin quality.

 

Do under-eye polynucleotides hurt?

Most clients find treatment very manageable. The under-eye area can be sensitive, but discomfort is generally minimal and short-lived.

 

Is there any downtime after treatment?

You may experience small bumps at the injection points, mild swelling, redness or bruising following treatment. These effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days.

​

How long do the results last?

Results vary between individuals, but maintenance treatments are often recommended every 6–12 months to maintain improvements in skin quality.

 

Who is suitable for under-eye polynucleotides?

Under-eye polynucleotides may be suitable for clients concerned about fine lines, crepey skin, dehydration and age-related changes around the eyes. A consultation is required to assess suitability and discuss expected outcomes.

 

Who is not suitable for under-eye polynucleotides?

Treatment may not be suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an active infection in the treatment area, certain medical conditions, or a known allergy to any of the product ingredients.

 

Can under-eye polynucleotides be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Polynucleotides are often combined with treatments such as skin boosters, microneedling, PRP or anti-wrinkle treatments as part of a personalised treatment plan.

 

Will I still look like myself after treatment?

Yes. Polynucleotides are designed to improve skin quality rather than alter your facial features. The aim is to create a fresher, healthier and more rested appearance while maintaining natural-looking results.

 

Why might I be recommended polynucleotides instead of tear-trough filler?

In some cases, concerns around the eyes are caused by poor skin quality rather than volume loss. Where appropriate, polynucleotides may provide a safer and more suitable option by improving skin health without adding volume to a delicate area.
